Dear Elise Moore,
What a wonderful two days it was for us all when you were with us.
We would like to thank you for so generously giving three talks in two days. We appreciated each one. They were filled with new ideas, strengthening thoughts, and wider insights, with interesting demonstrations recounted to prove the effectiveness of what you were saying.
We are looking forward to putting into practice the ideas for growing our church and have been very pleased with the feedback and contact we have had.
With loving regards,
Diane Ford
Secretary

Lecture feedback Hornsby Australia
Our lecture "The Possibilities of Prayer" was indeed an 'upper room' experience. Our church members feel blessed and of one accord. This will I am positive go out and bless the wider community. Meg and I feel this was the most spiritually uplifting lecture we have ever experienced.
There were 11 people who were visitors one bought a Science and Health another asked after Mary Baker Eddy Christian Healer. I showed it to them but they didn't buy it.
Another sitting beside me took copious notes. I think she spoke to you. Jeroo's friend as you can see below. The little six year old boy had insisted on coming with his Dad and are our neighbours. The Rev Ann and her two friends from the Uniting Church were impressed felt it was very 'interesting' - perhaps a different way of praying. (The Reverand talked with me and said that they had a prayer group meeting at the same time as the lecture, so we were all praying together!)
This was great as we have established a true neighbourly relationship. Thank you so much for your wonderful, uplifting, spiritually minded lecture and preparatory meeting we are all most grateful - Jan
From another person:
I had a visitor Sherna at the lecture. She was very happy to meet you all. The lecture was an inspiring experience for her. Sherna has been familiar with the teachings of Christian Science. In fact she has taken a copy of the full text Weekly Bible Lesson from Ben on the lecture day.
I throughly enjoyed the lecture more so from the metaphyical point of view. Elise Moore delivered/presented the lecture with such inspiration that went out to every heart. I am still taking it all in!!
With appreciation and love to all

Conroe TX feedback
Fruitage from 1/18/09 meeting in Conroe TX. I used the ideas in the lecture "God is Speaking to you" in my business. A major opportunity with a car dealer arose because I feel I was listening for God. I had previously met my contact at a Chamber social event. I decided to stop by one morning. I came to the right lot out of several, the right building of several, and at the right time. My contact and several decision makers were walking to the building. He said that he had described my service to these other people just that morning. Ideas on how to overcome fear in the car business have to be overcome, but I know they will be.

New Plymouth NZ feedback
We had Colin and Helen stay with us for a couple more days after the lecture. If you recall they were at the workshop, and had driven up from Wanganui. Helen is in the Christian Science practice.
The day after the lecture they went into town and upon entering a store the attendant came up, and asked if they were visitors. They said yes, they were up from Wanganui. She then asked what brought them up. They said 'a Christian Science talk'. The attendant said, did you see that lady who just went out the door, a friend of mine. She went to it, and thought it was fabulous and was telling me all about it, and we are going to talk some more.'

Live Radio Lecture in New Zealand
This was a live radio lecture with a host. The host, Bryan Smith, was a former Episcopal priest who also has had a healing ministry. We talked for a few minutes before going on the air to work out some interactive bits. I gave some recommendations of where we might have an interactive conversation (the places where I normally invite audience participation).
It was a smooth and lovely broadcast. I gave the entire lecture except for a little part about Christ Jesus which just didn’t fit in for one reason or other. So I added a Bible quotation from Jesus to make that important connection.
Bryan made appropriate remarks, added a healing of his own, asked good questions and made the lecture feel like a conversation. It was a holy experience with God clearly in control. We naturally worked together as a team. From the audience perspective it was as if we had done this many times before.
Several people came to the inperson lecture who had heard the radio lecture. One woman said she’d used two radios so that she would be sure and hear the entire program. Didn’t want to miss anything due to poor reception.
This was a very successful lecture idea. Doing this particular lecture on live radio was seamless, effective, and healing. I’d encourage this type of lecture, doing a live radio lecture in conjunction with an inperson lecture.

New Zealand lectures
You left us fizzing! We enjoyed every minute. Our New Plymouth Scott and Coreen were blown away with the 35 people that turned up, the largest ever! Ric reported Dunedin’s feeling of refreshment also. Your prep talks were just what we needed, that little extra with “new views of divine goodness and love”. Your presentation style suited us so well. I hope you enjoy all the rest of your journey. A very sincere and warm thank you.

Melbourne FL feedback
We had 96 in attendance. And we had a number of new attendees. We had one woman that we know of who was between movies, saw our poster in the lobby and stated she would like to hear the talk but had a ticket to another movie. She was told by one of our members, staffing the literature table in the lobby, to just go in until her movie started. She told the Lecturer she could only stay for 5 minutes and she stayed about 15. We had others that we believe came in rather that go to a movie.
The following were comments by attendees of the lecture that were expressed to committee members: “very down to earth”- a 1st time lecture attendee; “she gave simple statements about prayer” – another 1st time attendee; “the talk kept moving and was never boring”; “I heard every single word”; “loved it, used it the next day”; “she was talking to each & every person” (we heard this a lot).
A son-in-law of a committee member who has only been to one other lecture, had been concerned about the fact that he might be laid off from his job and the next morning he awoke and announced to his wife he was applying for a new position in his company. When asked what had prompted him to make such a drastic change, his response was that when he awoke he was very clear in his thought about this change and refused to listen to the static.
The husband of a committee member who is not a Christian Scientist attended with their family. He later told her that the static the Lecturer spoke of represented a very negative habit he had of listening to negative talkshows on the radio and he was going to stop listening to these particular shows.
A member brought two friends, one of which spoke Spanish (one of the reasons she came as Elise is fluent in Spanish and they were able to speak with her before the lecture) and told Elise that she spoke very little English and did not think she would understand her talk. Elise told her that she would understand the Christ message. Afterwards she told Elise that she understood every word.
A young woman in Sunday School had told her teacher, who was also the Lecture Chair that she felt very uncomfortable about talking about religion with her friends as they were mostly atheist. They discussed this in class with the other students getting ready for the lecture. They discussed how they needed to live Christian Science and they would attract friends of a like mind. She showed up at the lecture with a friend and yes she had become reacquainted with a former friend who was very spiritual and wanted to come to the talk. Her friend stated after the talk that she too believed in what the Lecturer had spoken about.
We are so grateful for the opportunity to sponsor a Lecture in our community. One area of fruitage has been that both churches are supporting one another and are participating in activities together.
